Sesame and Soy Chicken Wings



Dear Readers,

With less than a week away, I am sure you are thinking of appetizers to serve for Superbowl party. Chicken wings are one of the most popular appetizers among many fans. However, if you are trying to find a health conscious way to prepare wings I have just the recipe for you. The recipe is fast and simple and you can make large batches at a time. The recipe is Asian inspired by the marinade.

(This recipe is for 12 pieces a mix of wings and drumsticks)

Ingredients:
- 1.75lb Chicken wings 8 pieces (organic, antibiotic free, range free)
- 1 lb Chicken legs 4 pieces (organic, antibiotic free, range free)
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro (minced)
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce

Marinade
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce reduced sodium
- 2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce reduced sodium
- 1 Tsp canola oil
- 1 Tsp sesame oil

Directions:

1- In a marge bowl pour all of the marinade ingredients (fresh ginger, lemon juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, canola oil, sesame oil) and wish together. Place your chicken pieces making sure they are cleaned and dried. Toss the chicken pieces into the sauce making sure all the pieces are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. You can actually have this marinate over night if you have the time.
2- You can either grill or bake the wings. I chose to bake them. So put the oven on at 350 degrees. Place the wings and legs in an oven safe baking dish. You can brush any extra marinade on the wings. Cook for 50 minutes.
3- When the 50 minutes are up pour the remaining 1 Tbsp of hoisin sauce in a cup. Turn your chicken pieces over. Brush the sauce on top of the wings and legs and cook for another 20 minutes.
4- When the chicken pieces are finished cooking transfer them to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and cilantro on top. Serve immediately.

** I did not add any extra salt to this recipe because I was using soy, teriyaki, and hoisin sauces that contain salt. **
